News: On 16 December 2009 we announced that eight projects across England would receive a share of £31 million through Round 2.  

The Big Lottery Fund is delivering myplace on behalf of the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF). This is not Lottery funding.

myplace aims to deliver world class youth facilities driven by the active participation of young people and their views and needs. myplace has funded 70 projects across England worth £270 million.

myplace offers a significant opportunity to those with the vision, ambition, and drive to deliver world class places for young people to go. It will reward those who:

• are developing plans for ambitious, world class places that will offer young people the widest possible range of high quality activities and co-located support services;
• are putting young people in the lead to plan and deliver dedicated youth projects driven by their views and needs;
• are working in partnership across sectors to develop robust, financially sustainable co-funded projects that respond to local needs and priorities; and
• require between £1m and £5m of capital investment to deliver an outstanding building project.

myplace is closed for applications and no further rounds of funding are planned. The first myplace centre is now open and several more are due to open in early 2010. For more information on project openings and to keep up to date with what’s happening please go to myplace support
